Georgina, He would be married to Mary Elizabeth Reed in the 1881 census, as he married her in 1876 |

Hi Georgina, This is my problem, as I only have him on certificates I have no idea when or where he was born, other than he married in Southwark and his daughter was born in Southwark. |

Where did he marry Mary and/ or where was the daughter born? We need some clue re. which area to search. So we need to find a Henry or a William, perhaps brushmaker in 1871? Gwyn |

William Henry Reed, International man of mystery?!!! He is down as Henry Reed deceased on his daughters’ marriage certificate (1892) Wife Mary Elizabeth Reed and daughter Mary Reed at home on own in 1891, and wife is down as widow, so fairly straightforward so far. He married Mary Elizabeth Young (formerly Perkins) in 1876 three years after their daughter Mary was born, and on the birth certificate he is down as William Henry Reed Occupation Brushmaker. Thing is I cant find him on the census’ at all!! I have now idea where on when he was born!! Their daughter is down as a visitor on the 1881 census, and I cant locate the wife either but at least I know the year and place she was born from the 1891 census. Could someone please please have a look and see if they can put an end to the mystery! Many Thanks Fuzzy x |
